The story
For five years, Jiang Yuan has stayed at the company for a monthly salary of $3,800, enduring the coldness of his boss, Claire Chen, and the whispers of colleagues who call him a lapdog. When he closes a deal with Runyuan Company, he asks for the raise she promised, but Claire refuses and offers only $200 more.
The next day, a returnee intern, Gu Yunze, arrives with a monthly salary of $25,000, and Claire orders Jiang Yuan to guide him and hand over his work, while the secretary Yuan Xiaoling and colleagues mock him. Gu Yunze immediately orders Jiang Yuan around and takes over the Yunhao Company project, unaware that its President Zhou hates being played.
Humiliated and overlooked, Jiang Yuan faces a choice: keep enduring or finally walk away.
Opening
Five years at this company, and my salary is still stuck at $3,800 a month. Everyone calls me a pathetic lapdog, unable to leave my female boss, Claire Chen. I count on my fingers; this is the tenth time I've asked for a raise. Her face is still cold, impatient. "How many times have I told you? The company isn't doing well right now. Can't we talk about this at the end of the year?"
